Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] ixgbe: fix for 82599 errata marking UDP checksum
	errors

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@...el.com>

There is an 82599 errata that UDP frames with a zero checksum are
incorrectly marked as checksum invalid by the hardware.  This was
leading to misleading hw_csum_rx_error counts. This patch adds a
test around this counter increase for this condition.
